• This Thursday, Queen Elisabeth II celebrates her 70 years of reign, until Sunday.

    This is called the Platinum Jubilee.

    A first for a British monarch, who has seen many crowned heads – or not – in the corridors of Buckingham Palace since the start of his reign.

  • And at 96, Queen Elizabeth II also has a family tree that makes the greatest monarchs blush.

  • Because between the Windsors, the Cambridges, the Yorks, the Bowes-Lyons or even the Mountbattens there is plenty to get lost in.
